"Shawn Smith" is a Seattle-based songwriter, vocalist and musician in several bands (Brad (band)/Brad, Satchel (band)/Satchel, Pigeonhed) and also as a solo artist. He was born in Spokane, Washington.

Smith has cited Freddie Mercury, Prince (musician)/Prince and Kiss (band)/KISS as early influences. Other influences he has noted are Steven Tyler, Bon Scott, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Andrew Wood (singer)/Andy Wood and Chris Cornell. It is easy to hear the impact of all of these varied performers in Smith's various projects.

In 2005, Smith unveiled a musical project called "The crystak Hand" involving many musicians. He also has worked with Thaddeus Turner (formerly of Maktub and many other projects including Brad) under the name Forever Breakers.
